I suspect she might be dyslexic, though her teacher doesn't seem to think she needs assessing but accepts she is below average. That's all very well but what do you do with a 6 year old who cries hysterically and tells you she's rubbish at everything?? It breaks my heart. We try our best to encourage her and console her, but she has reached the stage where she doesn't want to try anymore and it's very frustrating. She's normally a happy, cheeky soul btw.
We have just come back from a holiday with my best mate and her family - her DD is in our DD's class. However her DD is one of the top in the class and ours is obviously nearer the bottom. Having watched their DD being praised all day, doing mental arithmetic and sudoku (!) and reading proper books, our DD is at an all-time low.
